From a distance, the Mercedes Benz SL 65 AMG looks as though it is a family sedan. The type in which parents would take their family for a nice Sunday drive. But up close it is much more than that. Typical of the design of your average roadster, the chassis features some sleak and sporty design choices to optimize aerodynamics. However, the manufacturers did not limit themselves to just one scheme. Potential drivers will come to appreciate what will appear to them to be a space aged appearance. As they are driving through the country sides surrounding posh cities like Paris, Barcelona, and New York, they may be forgiven for thinking that they are piloting their own space ship in a Star Wars like adventure saga of their own making. And just like any pilot would demand, the interior provides much in the way of comfort. Some of these include ‘Neck-Pro’ head restraints, electronically adjustable seats which, along with the roof, are upholstered with ‘Nappa’ leather, and a ‘Panoramic Vario’ roof. A six disc DVD and CD changer, frontbass, anti-theft alarm, and intelligent headlight system round out nicely the pilot’s tool chest.
The SL 65 AMG’s futuristic look is backed up by a ‘V12 Biturbo‘ engine. The 630 horses under the hood allow the roadster to have a mind bending acceleration rate. Starting from zero the car can achieve a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in just four seconds. And when drivers realize that the roadster will reach a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, just fifty kilometers an hour shy of its top speed, in 11.6 seconds, they will find themselves wondering whether or not it is capable of light speed. A lightweight frame and Active Body Control suspension system ensure that it will be a smooth ride despite the power and high speed of the engine.
Mercedes Benz has provided its exclusive band of loyal customers with something new to try. The car manufacturer expects that each purchase will deliver on their promises.
